Cleaning Your Freezer
This freezer should be cleaned before you use it.
Also clean when frost has built up to about Y4 inch
(6mm) thickness. Complete defrosting and clean-
ing should be done at least once a year. In high
humidity areas, a freezer may need more frequent
defrosting.
Use a sponge, cloth or paper towel and mild
detergent in warm water to clean removable parts
(trivet), outside of freezer, door liner and gasket.
Rinse and then dry.
Waxing painted metal surfaces on outside of
freezer provides rust protection.
NOTE: Do not use wax on plastic parts. Wax may
damage them.
Wash the inside walls with a solution of 2 table-
spoons (26 g) baking soda to 1 quart (.95 L) warm
water. Rinse and then dry.
To clean condenser coils, use a vacuum cleaner
with brush attachment. Slide freezer out away
from the wall. Clean dust and lint from condenser
coils behind the freezer, every two or three months.
Personal Injury Hazard
Watch out for sharp wire ends at top of
condenser coils. They can cause injury or
damage brush.
To clean a freezer needing defrosting, turn Tem-
perature Control to OFF and unplug power cord.
Place a shallow pan (sides no higher than 1 inch)
on floor, centered under drain hole in bottom of
freezer. Place pans of hot water inside freezer with
door open to speed melting. Directing air from an
electric fan into freezer will also help.
I
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not place electrical devices in freezer.
Shock or injury can occur.
I
Use a plastic scraper to remove frost. Remove
water from walls with towel or sponge. Wash, rinse
and dry as above.
NOTE: Do not use an ice pick, knife or other
sharp-pointed tool or any type of electric defroster
to defrost freezer.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleansers on
your freezer. Do not use cleaning waxes, concen-
trated detergents, bleaches or cleansers contain-
ing petroleum on plastic parts because they may
damage these parts.
